Last Week of Summer

We enjoyed the last week of summer by spending our days at the pool and staying up late riding bikes, playing games on the iPad and watching movies. It is hard to believe this is the last couple of days before Parkes starts Kindergarten...the years have gone by so quickly. Parkes is such a loving and caring boy, but at the same time is all boy. He loves to swim which took awhile for him to decide he would swim anywhere besides the stairs even though he knew how. He can sound out all the letters and with helping him is starting to figure out words. He loves to draw and look through books.
Cash is becoming a very imaginative little boy. He is always pretending to hold, throw, eat, etc. something (usually a bug or butterfly). He is also getting quite the strong will, but at the same time is such a loving and funny boy. He is no longer a baby which was very apparent when he was not on the younger after care list at school but instead with the big kids.

Homebodies

This summer the boys were just as happy to stay home all day as to go do something. I'm figuring after last year of 5 days a week they just wanted a little break. So between the trips to the pool and other outings we made sure to spend a couple days a week at home doing nothing and they were very happy. Here's Cash and his "friend" Dopey watching Berenstein Bears which has become Cash's favorite show this summer. He, however, calls it "Care Bears".
And here's Parkes reading up on recipes. He likes to see what he wants to make. His favorite being to come up with his own recipe and seeing what happens.
Blogger kicked me out and cancelled my account for awhile this month so I will have more pics to post of our Holiday World trip and pool pics, but they are all on Brandon's phone so I will have to wait until he gets home and is not using it.
